U.S. Federal Labor Law
Labor Law vs. Employment Law: Although similar, there is a difference between labor law and employment law, and that difference has implications for your research. Generally, labor law involves issues of collective bargaining between employers and employees (e.g., unionization, strikes, lockouts, etc.) and employment law involves issues between individual employees and their employers (harassment and discrimination claims, compliance with minimum-wage and overtime laws, etc.). Of course, the two areas overlap, and it may not always be clear whether labor law or employment law is involved. If you don't find what you need here, check the Employment Law research guide.
Call numbers and locations noted after citations indicate where materials are held in the Law Library. If you are not familiar with Library of Congress call numbers check our research guide on that topic. Note that some materials are held at other libraries on campus (e.g., the Labor and Industrial Relations Library). Abbreviations for each resource according to the rules of the Bluebook are provided, but you should always check them when composing documents, as a citation's proper format can vary according to the context in which it appears.
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES
Labor law in the United States is a heavily regulated area; administrative agencies play an enormous role by promulgating and enforcing regulations and adjudicating disputes. It is important to be familiar with the leading administrative agencies and their role in U.S. labor law. Following is a brief list of major agencies with the URLs for their websites and a brief description.
Department of Labor (DOL): http://www.dol.gov
The cabinet-level agency responsible for general administration of federal labor laws, the DOL includes the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), and other government entities involved in administering federal labor and employment law policy.
Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA): http://www.flra.gov
Establishes policy and resolves disputes involving relations between employees of the U.S. federal government and their employers. Analogous to the private sector's NLRB.
Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service (FMCS): http://www.fmcs.gov/internet
Promotes cooperation between employees and management by providing mediation and other conflict resolution services to industry, government agencies, and communities.
Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB): http://www.mspb.gov
Adjudicates disputes involving employees of the federal government.
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB): http://www.nlrb.gov/nlrb/home/default.asp
Administers elections to determine whether or not employees want union representation and investigates and resolves unfair labor practices by private employers or unions. Analogous to the public sector's FLRA.
National Mediation Board (NMB): http://www.nmb.gov
Facilitates resolution of labor-management disputes in the railroad and airline industries under the Railway Labor Act of 1926. Oversees the National Air Transport Adjustment Board (NATAB) and the National Railway Adjustment Board (NRAB).
PRIMARY SOURCES
Statutes*
As always when beginning to research a legal issue, determining if a statute addresses the matter is always a good place to start. Following is a list of major federal labor law statutes. The area each statute addresses is included where it is not self-evident from the statute's name. The list is not exhaustive; if you don't see a relevant statute here, check the index to the United States Code.
Civil Service Reform Act, 92 Stat. 1111 (1978) (codified as amended at 5 U.S.C. sec. 7101-7135 (2000)).
Extensively addresses labor relations for employees of the federal government, including collective bargaining procedures for public sector employees.
Labor Management Relations (Taft-Hartley) Act (LMRA), 61 Stat. 136 (1947) (codified as amended at 29 U.S.C. sec. 141-187 (2000)).
Amended the NLRA, most notably by outlawing secondary boycotts by labor unions and establishing the NLRB's General Counsel to handle that agency's prosecution of unfair labor practices.
Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure (Landrum-Griffin) Act (LMRDA), 73 Stat. 519 (1959) (codified as amended at 29 U.S.C. sec. 401-531 (2000)).
Establishes rights and responsibilities of unions toward employees and employers; includes duties to keep certain records, make certain information available, and recognize employees' rights to fair representation within their union. Also addresses elections and fiscal responsibility within labor unions.
National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act (NLRA), 49 Stat. 449 (1935) (codified as amended at 29 U.S.C. sec. 151-169 (2000)).
The foundation of private sector labor law in the United States today. It created the NLRB, defines unfair labor practices, and establishes procedures for elections to determine union representation and to resolve grievances.
Norris LaGuardia Act, 47 Stat. 70 (1932) (codified as amended at 29 U.S.C. 101-115 (2000)).
Severely limits courts' power to issue injunctions prohibiting activities related to collective bargaining, such as strikes, pickets, etc.
Railway Labor Act, 44 Stat. 577 (1926) (codified as amended at 45 U.S.C. sec. 151-188 (2000)).
Created the National Railway Adjustment Board, National Air Transport Adjustment Board, and the National Mediation Board; addresses labor disputes within the railway and airline industries.
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 102 Stat. 890 (1988) (codified as amended at 29 U.S.C. sec. 2102-2109 (2000)).
Sets certain advance notice requirements for employers closing plants or making mass layoffs.
Regulations
Most regulations involving labor law can be found in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.), but particular matters may be addressed by other regulations. However, because of the enormous amount of regulations involving labor law, it is not practicable to enumerate even selected major regulations. Researchers seeking specific regulations are instead advised to consult the annotations to relevant statutes and the index to the Code of Federal Regulations (at KF70.A2) to identify regulations relevant to a particular issue.
Decisions
Settlements & Arbitrators' Decisions:
Virtually every collective bargaining agreement requires that disputes arising out of its interpretation and application with regard to individual employees or groups of employees (called grievances) be resolved via binding arbitration. Note that the union, in its representative capacity, and not the individual employee, is the grievant in such matters. Arbitrators' decisions are therefore important for understanding how particular issues are being analyzed, how particular arbitrators are likely to decide a matter, and so forth in the same way that judges' opinions are useful to litigants in traditional courts. Arbitrators' opinions, like trial court opinions, do not create binding precedent.
BNA LABOR ARBITRATION REPORTS [Lab. Arb. Rep. (BNA)] At KF3421.A2 L32X stacks.
Contains information about significant settlements and decisions from arbitrators. Initially, this resource was called WAR LABOR REPORTS (from 1942-1946; at KF3420.A2 W37X stacks). It actually is created by binding those settlements and decisions that first appear in the BNA LABOR RELATIONS REPORTER. Available in the law library in paper from 1946 through 2003; later content is available online via the BNA Labor & Employment Law Library.
CCH LABOR ARBITRATION AWARDS [Lab. Arb. Awards (CCH)] At KF3421.3 .C6 stacks.
Contains decisions from arbitrators; analogous to BNA LABOR ARBITRATION REPORTS. Available in the law library in paper from 1961 to the present. A good alternative for recent material if you prefer paper to the electronic material at the BNA Labor & Employment Law Library.
Administrative Law Judges' Decisions:
Many disputes involving labor law are first adjudicated by an administrative law judge, or “ALJ.” The term “judge” here can be confusing, since ALJs are employed by administrative agencies, part of the executive, not the judicial, branch of government. ALJs interpret and apply the regulations administrative agencies promulgate, and their decisions can be appealed to the judiciary (sometimes after an intermediate appeal to another administrative, quasi-judiciary body such as a panel or board). A published decision of the NLRB often, but not always, contains the decision of the administrative law judge which is being appealed to the board.
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE DECISIONS REPORT. At KF5365 .A553 stacks.

Access restricted to students and faculty of the University of Illinois' College of Law.
Court Decisions:
Courts interpret and apply regulations and statutes, depending on the nature of a dispute and the governing law, it may first be heard by a trial court, or appealed to a trial court after administrative relief has been exhausted. The opinions of trial courts can, in turn, be appealed to higher, appellate courts. Decisions of the NLRB are appealed directly to the federal circuit courts; although district courts may issue certain kinds of injunctions in labor disputes, they do not hear appeals from NLRB decisions. Using a digest is often the best way to locate court decisions, for help using digests consult our research guide on digests or a reference librarian.

Contains both federal and state court decisions about labor law. Coverage is extensive, though not exhaustive; all major cases are included. Available in the law library in paper from 1937 through October 22, 2003; later cases available online via the BNA Labor & Employment Law Library.
Online Resources
Court decisions are also available via LexisNexis, Westlaw, FindLaw, LexisONE, and via individual courts' websites.
Combined Resources:
Many resources are designed to provide one-stop shopping for researchers by providing statutes, regulations, decisions, and explanatory materials all in one resource. These resources are often arranged by topic (e.g., employment discrimination, wages and hours standards, etc.) They are very helpful but are designed with experienced, practicing lawyers in mind. If you are not familiar with them, consulting a reference librarian about how to use them can save you considerable time and frustration.
BNA Labor & Employment Law Library: http://laborandemploymentlaw.bna.com/
Contains NLRB decisions from v. 66 (1967) to the present in Microsoft Word and HTML formats, accessible by BNA classification number, parties' names, date, jurisdiction, headnote terms, or keywords. Access restricted to students, faculty, and persons on the campus of the University of Illinois.
LABOR RELATIONS REPORTER [LAB. REL. REP. (BNA)]. At KF3365 .L33X stacks.
Contains settlements; arbitration, NLRB, and court decisions; relevant state and federal statutes and regulations; directories for agencies and their roles and structure; and expert commentary. An excellent guide to using this (sometimes confusing) resource is available from the University of Washington: http://lib.law.washington.edu/ref/lrr.html This tool provides one-stop shopping for researchers; somewhat analogous to CCH LABOR LAW REPORTER. The law library's subscription was last updated in 2003, but most of the content is now available electronically via the BNA Labor & Employment Law Library.
LABOR LAW REPORTS [LAB. L. REP. (CCH)]. At KF3315 .L32X stacks.
Actually consists of multiple resources:
- LABOR RELATIONS contains digests, analysis, commentary , statutes, and
regulations (state and federal); it is somewhat analogous to the BNA LABOR RELATIONS REPORTER but lacks the full texts of decisions.
- WAGES AND HOURS contains material regarding discrimination, Fair Labor Standards Act guidelines, and other matters; most of which are discussed in the Employment Law research guide. It does, however, contain rulings by administrative law judges regarding labor laws.
- STATE LAWS: The first two volumes of this resource contained compilations of labor and employment laws from each state, with references to the codes and case law. However, these were discontinued in 1998 and replaced by two separate titles: STATE COMPENSATION LAWS and STATE INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS LAWS. The portion containing DECISIONS, however, continues to be produced, and contains the decisions of state courts regarding labor and employment issues.
Labor Relations Reference Manual [L.R.R.M. (BNA)] At KF3362 .A2L32X stacks.
Often called the “LRRM,” it combines decisions from federal and state courts with those of the NLRB; it actually is created by binding those decisions that first appear in the BNA LABOR RELATIONS REPORTER. Available in the law library in paper through August 31, 2003; later content is available online via the BNA Labor & Employment Law Library.

Ready Reference
These resources provide concise overviews of the law in various areas. Nutshells are small, paperback books and are especially brief and general. Hornbooks are larger, hardbound books that go into more detail. Either is a good place to start if you are unfamiliar with a particular area of law; both are written with law students in mind and do not assume the reader has much expertise in the law.

Treatises
Treatises provide detailed analysis and commentary about specific areas of law. They contain extensive detail and annotations to relevant statutes, regulations, decisions, and other secondary sources such as law review articles. They are written with practicing lawyers in mind and assume the reader already has some familiarity with the law, so they can be intimidating and confusing to novices. If you are unfamiliar with an area of law, consider consulting a ready-reference resource first.

Periodicals
Periodicals include legal newspapers and bar journals and scholarly publications called law journals or law reviews. Legal newspapers and bar journals are aimed at practicing lawyers and contain brief articles about newsworthy developments in the law. Journals and reviews are geared primarily toward scholars and contain articles written primarily by law professors; they are a good place to go for in-depth analysis and discussion of specific topics, and because the contain extensive citations to other resources, they can be a good place to find statutes, regulations, decisions, and other secondary sources that may be useful.
Leading periodicals are listed below with brief descriptions of the subjects they focus on. Unless otherwise noted, these are located with the periodicals and arranged alphabetically by title. Many periodicals are available online for faculty, students, staff, and those physically present in a University of Illinois library here: http://www.library.uiuc.edu/orr/.
